Hi:
I,am trying syncronise clock, but i canīt do it
In the server client put:
/etc/ntp.conf -> server namehost
-> resolver /etc/xntpres
/etc/tcp -> uncoment lines when say Xntpd

In the server as server clock:
/etc/ntp.conf -> peers hostname

Can anyone help me on this. Is it an issue with the time delay as the reference time servers are on different sites and the ping response is... (0 Replies)
Hi,
Have never run xntpd before. I have my ntp.conf file configured with server, trace file and drift file. I commented out the "broadcastclient" entry since I only want to get the time from a single source. Port 123 is in the /etc/services file for tcp and udp. Port 123 has been enabled in... (0 Replies)
Hi,
I have a server that is getting the following alarm a couple times a day:

I know this is some sort of NTP related issue but I need to gauge the severity of... (0 Replies)
Hi All,
After restarting the xntpd process for some reasons when i checked the status its showing inoprative eventhough xntpd process is running when i ps on it.

Hello:
NOOB here. I attempted to use smit mkcd. Failed on first attempt, not enough space. 2nd attempt tried to place iso on /usr, not enough space there. Cleanup ran for about 5 minutes after aborting.

Hi,
Does anyone know how to make sure that the slewing option in solaris 10 is on. From the man page I believe I had to add "slewalways yes" to the ntp.conf file and restart the service, but I don't know if its has gone into effect or not.
Thanks (3 Replies)
Hi, I want to setup xntpd with two sources ntp servers. I added to /etc/ntp.conf:
server IP1
server IP2
but, when the server lost the connection with the first, it doesn't connect the second.

ntp.drift(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual ntp.drift(4)NAME
ntp.drift - Network Time Protocol (NTP) drift file
DESCRIPTION
When the NTP daemon (xntpd) is first started, it computes the error in the intrinsic frequency of the clock on the computer it is running
on. This process usually takes about a day or two after the daemon is started to compute a good estimate of this (and it needs a good
estimate to synchronize closely to its server). Once the initial value is computed, it will change only by relatively small amounts during
the course of continued operation.
The driftfile declaration should always be included in the ntp.conf file. This provides xntpd with complete path name to a file in which
it can store the current value of the frequency error. That way, if the daemon is stopped and restarted, it can reinitialize itself to the
previous estimate without spending time recomputing the frequency estimate.
The ntp.drift file contains one line with the following format: freq_offset flag Specifies the nominal frequency offset. DO NOT modify
this field. Specifies the method used to improve system clock accuracy. Specifies that xntpd runs a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) algorithm to
keep synchronized with other hosts. This is the default. Specifies the use of the PLL algorithm in the kernel. This requires the
NTP_TIME kernel option. After the option is configured in the kernel, edit the ntp.drift file and change the flag value to 1.
See System Administration for information on the NTP_TIME kernel option.
